Sony has purchased Bungie - Their Final Shape
- Thread starter TeKPhaN
- Start date
It's a vague denial. Either way, doesn't look like its happening now. People in the know still believe very strongly that they at least talked about it. Doesn't mean much though. I expect Microsoft to talk to every independent studio within the regions they're willing to expand to. Only a fraction of any studio considered will get close to a purchase. Especially now days. Lot of studios will hold off due to increasing value of gaming industry.
They could pull a Minecraft with Destiny if they do. Later release Destiny Worlds for mobile and Destiny Dungeons
I'd love to have Bungie back with Microsoft. Even though I wasn't a huge Destiny fan. Both games are gorgeous though.
Microsoft and Bungie were best when they were together but nothing that Bungie has done would make you think they would be open to not being independent.
And the studios Microsoft has bought when lead you to think they wouldn't be that into whatever inflated price it would take.

Halo would be DOA with Bungie. ODST was their nail in the coffin. Worst Halo in the history of Halo.
Bungie is also a shell of the former Bungie. Now they milk with DLC/Seasons.
Halo needing Bungie. Current Bungie is not the same as they were back in their Halo days, if they were acquired by MS to get involved with Halo don't expect the glory days to return.
ODST is the worst Halo along with the Halo CE Anniversary led by Bungie.
Bungie is nothing other than known for tanking Halo before they left. Good thing 343 brought the games back up.

I like Hoeg. He's not an insider but does a good job parsing language from corporations. My personal belief is that Microsoft inquired. Microsoft is kicking the tires of virtually everyone who might be a good fit. Probably not happening with Bungie but the denial wasn't much of a denial.

bungie is private, like Bethesda was, no?
Why would they buy Bungie at this point?
For Destiny? Thought it was dead?
Help with Halo? If anything, what's needed for that franchise is to get the story interesting again and Bungies storytelling with destiny is lol

[Speculation] Bungie will once again be involved with the Halo Franchise/co-owners of I.P. with Microsoft.
Bookmark this thread for future reference. After the handling of the Halo franchise by 343 Studios(mass departures, uncertain direction/future, delays, etc) for Microsoft I have a very strong feeling their have been "discussions" between Bungie and Microsoft to come back aboard the I.P. that...
Working with instead?

After the handling of the Halo franchise by 343 Studios(mass departures, uncertain direction/future, delays, etc) for Microsoft I have a very strong feeling their have been "discussions" between Bungie and Microsoft to
come back aboard the I.P. that Bungie created: HALO. "Feelers sent out?" "Cross promotion discussions?"
This will either come in the form of buying the I.P. back outright from Microsoft(with agreements in place that MS will still have HALO games for their console/PC platforms day and date with future releases) or a "partial sale/co-ownership of
the I.P" where Bungie will make the Halo series available to other platforms from Sony, Nintendo and Nvidia. My gut instinct is that we'll see a "co-ownership/partnership" between Bungie and Microsoft.
Let's face it, Halo has floundered under 343 along with Microsoft's management of the I.P.
Halo needs fresh, experienced developers along with management to help guide it into the future. What better company to do that then the I.P's creator in Bungie?
P.S. Wouldn't be surprised at all to hear/read about a delay of the single player Halo Infinite Campaign until Summer 2022.
Let me add that Dec Destiny 2 DLC will have Halo content.
